The box will leave my house January 25th. I will try to work out the route so that the box will be sent from you to the next closest person to save postage. It might not always work out that way, but I will try my best.
When the box reaches you, take out what you want, but replace the items one-for-one. You do not have to replace an item with an identical item, but let's please try to be fair to the participants at the halfway point and beyond. If you see there are lots of a particular item such as stickers, please do not replace what you take out with that type of item. The last person will not be happy with an entire box of stickers. Items should be relatively new to the market.
Once you have had a chance to look at it, let the group know what you took out and put in and at the end of that email, let us know who is getting it next. You should also email that person privately. If you don't get an answer to the email within 2 days, you should email the hostess so that she can try calling the person to see what is going on. For all we know her computer might have crashed.
The box will need to leave your hands within one week of receiving it. Please, also e-mail the next person on the list to let them know when it will be heading their way. The individual receiving the box next should, if at all possible, answer both the email and the post to say that she is or isn't ready to receive the box. A person that is not ready to receive the box will either be put after the person immediately following them on the list or at the end of the list at the hostesses discretion.
A swapbox is sent out based upon the honor system. If you do not think you can send it on in a timely manner, please consider sitting it out. Realistically the box should travel from person to person every couple of weeks - giving one week in transit and one week in hand.
Eligibility: You must be an active member of RCS for 3 months.
I will e-mail my snail-mail address out to all participants after the sign-up deadline. If you join and want to send items sooner, my address in also on the RCS snail-mail list.
This is the second round for the Baby Embellishment Box. If you have any suggestions or concerns, please let me know.

Special Instructions per RCS Newsgroup website:
THE FOLLOWING IS EXPECTED OF "ALL" RCS ROUND ROBIN SWAPS:
There is quite a bit of money invested into our swap boxes, so please do not forget to insure the box and get a tracking number. Should the box be lost in the mail between your house and the next recipient, it will be your responsibility to get the money back through the insurance claim and start the new box.
It is suggested to our hostesses, that the actual swap box used, be sturdy and be able to fit in one of the $7 priority boxes (you can put up to 70 lbs in it and we know how quickly an embellishment box can get heavy). If you use the USPS click N Ship service to create the label online, you can get free tracking. Besides the boxes are free (you can even ask for them to be delivered to you by ordering them online) and you can get free pick up of your package by the post office. (With gas prices this will be cheaper for many of you than a trip to and from the post office). You have the choice to pay for postage on-line with your credit card or to simply print out the label without postage and then go to the post office and have them weight the parcel. Either way as long as you do it online at
